It's a busy season and you deserve to pamper yourself. Is your hair feeling dull, limp, or lifeless? Perhaps it's time to refresh your colour or try a new style.

Chris Williams, international colour director at Rush Hair and Beauty, told us more about the hair treatments on offer at the Romford salon, to get you prepped and preened for the party season.

Give your locks some love this winter

The cold weather can wreak havoc on our hair, leaving it dehydrated and dull-looking. All hair types can suffer during winter due to constantly switching between the cold outside and the heat indoors.

Your hair will be much drier, and therefore more brittle, meaning that it will be much more prone to split ends. Regular trims and reduced use of heat styling products can help to keep your hair in good condition.

Rush offers a cut and blow dry for as little as £45. They also offer a range of hair masks to nourish your hair and help to alleviate the appearance of breakage.

Spice up your colour

Most people tend to gravitate toward darker tones in the autumn and winter because of the warm and rich feeling it radiates. Whether you want to abide by the rules or mix things up, Rush offers a wide range of hair colour services such a highlights, lowlights, balayage, ombre and permanent or semi-permanent colour.

Chris said: "A cut and colour really can work wonders. Changing your hair to a totally different colour or dramatically changing the length or style of your hair can be a daunting decision. Sometimes just a small change can make all the difference and give you added confidence."

The perfect bouncy blow dry

We all want to leave the salon with hair that feels revitalised, refreshed and in amazing condition. Chris said: "We are passionate about one thing - making you feel special, every day. We will take the time to listen to you and your needs, so that you can be confident we'll create beautiful, unique hairstyles to ensure you have a happy hair day, every day."

Blow dries at Rush start from £31. If an updo is more up your street, you can get an updo at Rush from £46. Going to a Christmas party? An updo could be an elegant addition to your Christmas party outfit!
